I was curious what possible bad effects the cold temps. can have on my discs in my trunk.

i dont think cold really will do damage unless the discs are in a awkward position, such as the dome being pressed down for a continues period of time in the cold etc.

If anything will happen to them (which is very doubtful) they may seem a little stiff. Nothing a microwave wont take care of. :D

Discs in the microwave??? :confused:

I definitely think they get damaged more easily. I threw a thumber into the road beyond 18 at Legion in Cedar Rapids a few days ago and it got really messed up (more so than usual). It had a huge chunk out of the side and it was an early run CE Firebird. I think the plastic becomes more brittle at lower temperatures. Not sure if that's what you meant...

This sort of falls into the same category...I was wondering if the cold would make them seem more flippy/understable? I played in a christmas tournament and normally my XS's are slightly overstable, yet I was having to rely on my predator pretty much the whole day.

no chane I can tell. But it don't get real cold here in Texas. :D
I know that it makes them break

I have seen some early runs of elite x plastic xtra's and xs's that actually expand when they get really cold and the dome bloats out to about 3 times normal size. Bring the disc inside and it will return to normal size. Weird...

It was a joke.

If you live in a very cold climate, I suggest you try some Gateway H plasitic. It's not for everyone, but it was designed to behave normally under zero. Nothing like reaching in your bag when it's -15 out and pulling out a disc that's still flexible and friendly.

H is very similar to Innova Pro and Elite x

I second that. My Chiefs ("H" Wizard) stay exactly the same no matter the temperature. Sure I like the feel of a Soft Wizard better, but only if I can actually feel the disc!

lol
MOVE TO TEXAS is what I suggest :D

in my experience the coldness of a disc only makes it less grippy. when i cant grip a disc well i cant really get a good snap on it so i tend to hyzer colder plastic sooner than i would on a warm day.
...but thats just me

we normally play in CT and found that innova plastic becomes stiffer and more stable during exceptionally cold weather. And that means a perfect time to pull out those old discs that used to be your distance bombers and let em rip again. You'd be surprised.
